we must bring sn back,and play him in the next four matches.i have enough of JO.no more plz.sn must have learnt his lesson.now bring him back.
i think we may send sakib as an opener and sn at no.4.beacause sakib can take singles frequently and give strike to tamim.and also sn is a good player of spin.
i also think,shahadat should be in the team in place of razzaq,at least for the game against sa.
and last but not the least,if i were the selectors,then i would have dropped habib and bring rajin in.it would have given us variety in the bowling attack also.if we can dropvice captain for bad performance,why not the captain.

so,my team is:
tamim iqbal
sakib al hasan
aftab ahmed
shahriar nafees(c)
md.ashraful
rajin saleh/farhad reza
mushfiqur rahim(wk)
mashrafe mortaza
md.rafique
syed rasel
shahadat hossain
but after reza's inclusion and assuming that he will be able to play against sa,i will give him the chance ahead of rajin.
i know,lot of u will criticise for this team or have different opinions.but thats what i feel.

Interesting choices. As I have said before, we are in the middle of three tough games and what we should get out of this game is some confidence and momentum before we go for the kill against England and West Indies. There is no need of complete shake up. Here is my team:

Bashar should come up the order and take some responsibility. Aftab can come at number 6 and play his natural game or whatever you call it. Ashraful and Sakib is the most important piece in the middle overs and need play a big innings. Eventhough Javed Omar did what he was asked to do, I feel like we give ourselves the best chance of a win when Shahriar Nafees is there. He must've worked hard on his game and should be back for good.

I am in complete agreement with your selections. HB is our natural # 3 in tests. Surely, surely he can bat up the order in ODIs. We batted Aftab one down to take advantage of the powerplays. But with his persistent failure to build a substantial innings, his pyrotechnics would be better suited in the death overs. Although I would like to see Shahadat, it cannot be at the expense of Rasel. And omitting a spinner against SA would be a foolish decision.

Shahriar Nafees sucks big time against quality oponents. Since 2006, he has not scored a single 50 in ODIs against a quality oponent. Since 2006 SN played against:

Srilanka: 5 times
Australia: 4 times
West Indies: 1 time
India: 1 time

played 11 innings against quality oponents and did not score even a single 50. I would go either JO or RS for openner. It will give us a right hand left hand combination. As the commentator was saying in the last match that Syed Rasel's pace is not good enough to come as an openning bowler, I would go with Shahadat Hossain this time. So this is my team here:

"It is Allah who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and [the souls] of those that do not die during their sleep. He retains those souls for which He has ordained death, whereas He releases the rest for an appointed term. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply." (39:42)

I do like the idea of Bashar coming as 1st down. Aftab is not doing anything special anyway and Bashar can rotate strike fine. He shud also take responsibility as a captain and bat up just like Imran did in 92 and he was an alrounder. Imran also told Inzi to do the same for Paki this year but gadha beta shune nai. Now he is sitting in home and eating potato.
